The answer is D.

The first step in solving this equation is adding 1 to both sides of the equation.
3x/4 = 3

Then, multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
3x = 12

Finally, you simply divide both sides of the equation by 3.
x = 4

3x/4 -1=2
3x/4 - 1 +1 = 2 +1
3x/4 = 3
4(3x/4) = 4 (3)
3x = 12
3x/3 = 12/3
x = 4

Now to check your answer, substitute 4 for x in the original formula

3x/4 -1=2
3(4)/4 -1 = 2
3 -1 = 2
2 =2

So x =4 is the correct answer.

3x/4 -1=2

add 1

3x/4=3

multiply by 4

3x=12

divide everything by 3

x=4

3x/4 -1=2
3x/4=3
3x=12
x=4
answer D

3x/4 - 1 = 2

3x/4 = 3

3x = 12

x =4
